Small Steps is an autobiography written by author Peg Kehret. In Small Steps, Kehret shares her 9 month journey with polio. The story starts in choir as Peg
notices her thigh muscle start to jump and twitch. She then falls as she begins to walk home
for lunch. Like any other teenager, she
doesn’t want to share with her mother that she isn’t feeling well as she would
miss out on the homecoming festivities that would be taking place that afternoon. Her mother catches on and she is sent to
bed. This leads to being diagnosed
with three types of polio and a 9 month journey of recovery at Sheltering Arms
Hospital in Minneapolis, MN.
I have read this book at least four time and I love it a little more each time! Kehret writes in such
away that you part of the story and want to be friends with Peg and the other
girls in room 206. Take a chance and
read this book…you won’t be disappointed!
